While in Maine this summer, I came across a little ash burl.

The limb had been lying beside the tree for years, but the burl looked solid.

Since it was a rather long walk carrying a chainsaw and a chunk of wood, my cousin let me borrow his Gator. Although there was rot, some other parts of the limb seemed solid enough to turn as well.

Since it was less than 50 yards to where I had left the gator, I lugged out a few pieces.

Although small, a few pieces had some curl, and all have had a warm color.

This week I roughed out the last of it.
